Is it allowed to take Rivaroxaban during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Direct factor Xa inhibitor, indicated in the prevention of thromboembolism.Administered orally every 12 to 24 hours. From a single published case study we know that it is excreted in breast milk in clinically insignificant amounts (Wiesen 2016); the newborn was not breastfed. Until there is more published data on this drug in relation to breastfeeding, safer known alternatives may be preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.

Recovering from a PE from December. I loved that I no longer have to be on a food restriction and so many testing since I have been switched to this 3 weeks ago. The side effects I seem to be having alot of this week (18th Jan.) is that I am very tired (zombie-like) and sometimes I have a bit of difficulty breathing. I just continue to pace myself.
